An American court has revealed some details of the material seized by the
FBI
during the raid on August 8 at the
resort of former President Donald Trump
in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
According to
CNN
, agents collected
33 boxes of documents
including dozens of empty folders marked as classified, more than
11,000 unclassified government documents
, but also
gifts and personal items.
.
Among the material seized there are 3 documents marked as confidential, 17 documents marked as secret, 7 documents marked as top secret, 43 empty folders with "the classified banner" and 28 empty folders with the indication to "return to the personnel secretary or to the military adviser ".
Other empty folders
of the same nature were found by the FBI in a closet.
From the inventory it is not clear why the folders were empty and
what happened to the documents
that were contained within them.
The fear that documents of a confidential and
top secret
nature were not adequately kept in the residence of Mar-a-Lago prompted the
Justice Department
to open a
criminal
investigation , to shed light on why the material was in
Trump's private residence
and on attempts to withhold the documents, despite having been asked for their
full return
.
In fact, after leaving office, the
presidents of the United States
must
transfer all their documents
and emails to
the national archives
.
These are some of the news that emerged after
Florida judge Aileen Cannon
decided to
make public the inventory
of the material seized by the
Bureau
, which confirms that the classified documents taken by the ex-president were kept in a
disorderly and chaotic
way , including clippings. of newspapers, magazines, books, clothes, gifts.
The Justice Department is considering whether
Trump mishandled the documents
by taking them from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office in January 2021.
